anyone i guess is just. and it has been noticed not just by russia but. spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry they're saying that russia didn't have anything to do with these people who are being charged with espionage in georgia last year we saw thirteen people arrested on espionage charges now nine of those were found guilty just last week and handed down sentences ranging between eleven years and fourteen years in torture itself out. be. outcry against this we're hearing from a georgian daily newspaper. of what they did and to be determined to be a witch hunt against anybody who opposes because saakashvili they say that the star thought it was businessmen that it was politicians scientists and knows in utah get all this we charge these journalists do it your position say. that it's saakashvili

because to use these spy allegations to school political points now this comes after three people have been charged with espionage saying that they passed information from georgia to moscow it's feared that around two hundred people may have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the city of abidjan in turkmenistan some local reports say the blast happened i mean edition the polled over government continues to claim it was a fireworks factory state officials have not confirmed any casualties in fact in areas cordoned off and close to end. police are being ordered to detain anyone who tries to take pictures or mobile phone footage of the site so many people can't contact family and friends because of the corruption. a special government commission is reportedly set up to investigate the explosions turkmenistan's along with a very secretive state with internet and till recently r.t. carter couldn't editor of human rights website in turkmenistan gave us the latest. to the russian aggression starting from yesterday people began returning to the

town fires have been put up to the local snow helping soldiers to clean up the recording to reports the number of casualties and those who died because of injuries has reached nine hundred but we have to verify this information i cannot guarantee its reliability but it's certainly more than two hundred people many died in hospital there isn't about done i'm no longer in a state of panic but some are still looking for their family members and i can say that the situation is calm in some remote regions people aren't aware of what's happened as they have no internet access some are perhaps unhappy as the would like the president to announce a state of mourning or express his condolences it seems that there are thirty sons willing to admit that there are casualties there's no official theory as to the causes of the explosion and usually there was an opinion that if i happened because of very hot weather frankly speaking it's hard for me to tell therefore i won't draw any conclusions as for witnesses many servicemen who were guarding of those warehouses died in the fire. stay with us here on our king still to come guilty

the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that's made no ordinary people in britain and their views have no really be represented in the newspapers or in the political arena last spot for democracy so david cameron should suffer investigate him self as far as i'm concerned i want would your employer a man who's already had to resign over the phone hacking allegations why would you take him to the hearts of government where he could about access to top secrets garcias and information it's sorry a sorry. let me tell you not just the british press both the british democracy can log on and have your say on our website r.t. dot com and register in our latest poll today we're asking is shutting down news of the world the right decision so far twenty percent say yes tabloids are an embarrassment to the british media forty per cent also say yes but they think the reason is that rupert murdoch's media dominance should come to an end sixteen percent believe the wrong decision it's the wrong decision in the papers shouldn't

protests in months egyptians are also frustrated at the sluggish pace of prosecuting senior officials and police officers who are accused of brutality during friday's uprising professor mark allman from oxford university says the revolution has only added to egypt's economic woes and not brought about the change for which people had hoped. the expectations that the full of mubarak would be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about and his family and closest cruize be imprisoned or. accused will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people against the interests of the country but of course field marshal tantawi members of the military route counsel for his appointees to a great extent across egypt people do see that the local boss the local head of the astray should be changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent

this social this winter has irritated about unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of a bar has made in the short term the economy worse but i do think really there's an easy answer to egypt's economic problems because global oil prices global food prices and so on are rising and egypt has essentially porter the u.s. media has come under fire for its reporting of a number of high profile criminal cases the trial of a single mother casey anthony acquitted of murdering her two year old child earlier this week has been at the center of huge debate for years as our he's our associate you're going to reports there are concerns that public opinion is unduly swayed by headlines rather than evidence. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system legally after shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects being sat down in the street in an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty cents laying
